The Rolling Stones are ready to rock Canada Day weekend.

The British band has selected a single Canadian date for the upcoming leg of their North American tour — and its not a big city.

They'll play June 29 at the outdoor Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte, Ont., a sprawling field space about 130 kilometres northeast of Toronto.

They also launched their first major North American tour in Montreal in 1965, recorded a legendary live album at Toronto's El Mocambo in 1977, and were one of the headliners at giant festival Sarsstock in 2003.

Burl's Creek is home to a number of big concert events, including the Boots and Hearts and Big Sky country music festivals. It was also the location of the Wayhome music festival for several years.
